  • Isaiah Likely TE | BAL

    Ravens' Isaiah Likely: Not targeted in season debut

    Likely failed to draw a target in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.

    Making his season debut after missing the Ravens' first three games while recovering from foot surgery, Likely played 25 of the Ravens' offensive snaps Sunday, just behind fellow tight end Mark Andrews (30). Though the 25-year-old Likely was a non-factor in Baltimore's aerial attack, Andrews drew a team-leading eight targets in the contest. Likely should certainly see his role grow as he gets acclimated coming off the injury, but his chances of making an impact Week 5 versus Houston could be inhibited with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) at risk of missing the contest.

  • Adam Trautman TE | DEN

    Broncos' Adam Trautman: Records two catches in win

    Trautman caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.

    Trautman had another quiet day in Week 4; however, his 32 receiving yards accounted for his highest total of the season thus far. The veteran tight end played 42 of the Broncos' 81 offensive snaps, ahead of both Evan Engram (35) and Nate Adkins (34). Even so, Engram was predictably a much larger part of Denver's offensive plans, earning seven targets in the contest. Based on his lack of consistent usage in the passing game, Trautman remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Eagles.

  • Packers' Luke Musgrave: Limited to one reception

    Musgrave was targeted once and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 40-40 tie with the Cowboys.

    It was more of the same for Musgrave, who heads into Green Bay's Week 5 bye with totals of four receptions for 42 yards. Tucker Kraft remains the man at the tight end position for the Packers.

  • Tyler Higbee TE | LAR

    Rams' Tyler Higbee: Still unavailable Tuesday

    Higbee (hip) was once again listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report following the Rams' walkthrough, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Higbee has now opened the week with back-to-back days in which he was considered unavailable. The tight end was able to play through his hip injury in the team's Week 4 win over the Colts, and he'll look to return to action in Wednesday's final practice session prior to Thursday's matchup with the 49ers.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: Held to one catch

    Helm recorded one catch on one target for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

    Helm was on the field for a season-high 43 percent of offensive snaps, but that didn't translate to opportunity. This marked the first time that he failed to record multiple targets in a game this season, though he also hasn't earned more than three in any contest. Helm is a name to consider in deep dynasty leagues but is otherwise off the fantasy radar.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Four yards on three targets

    Okonkwo recorded one catch on three targets for four yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans.

    Cam Ward's struggles continued, as he completed only 38.5 percent of his passes while passing for 108 yards. No skill-position player on Tennessee's roster was able to excel as a result, and Okonkwo was no exception. The tight end leads the team in catches with 13 and is third in targets with 19, but that volume has resulted in only 124 receiving yards and zero TDs through four games.

  • Carter Runyon: Joins Las Vegas' roster

    The Raiders signed Runyon from their practice squad to their active roster Tuesday.

    Runyon was elevated from the practice squad ahead of this past Sunday's loss to Chicago and logged 15 snaps on special teams (but no offensive snaps). He subsequently reverted back to the practice squad, but Las Vegas has elected to give him a spot on its active roster. Runyon could have a hard time getting into games on offense, however, as he's behind Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer (concussion) and Ian Thomas on the tight-end depth chart.

  • Bears' Colston Loveland: Takes part in practice Tuesday

    Loveland (hip) was spotted on the field during the media-access portion of Tuesday's practice session, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    After he managed just one limited practice in Week 4 prep due to a hip injury, Loveland ended up sitting out Sunday's 25-24 win over the Raiders. The rookie first-round pick appears to be trending in the right direction, however, as he took the field for an unofficial practice Tuesday during the team's Week 5 bye. With extra time to heal up, Loveland should be on track to return for the Bears' Week 6 matchup with the Commanders on Oct. 13.

  • Jeremy Ruckert TE | NYJ

    Jets' Jeremy Ruckert: Hauls in 23-yard pass

    Ruckert caught his lone target for 23 yards during the Jets' 27-21 loss to the Dolphins on Monday.

    Ruckert continues to be firmly entrenched as the Jets' TE2 behind rookie first-rounder Mason Taylor, with the former playing 25 snaps on offense and seven on special teams during Monday's loss. Ruckert has opened the 2025 regular season with a 4-44-1 line through four games.

  • Tanner Conner TE | NYG

    Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Not targeted in win over Jets

    Conner was not targeted during Monday's 27-21 win over the Jets.

    Conner's already marginal involvement in the passing game took a backseat with the debut of veteran tight end Darren Waller. Though Waller was limited to 28 percent of offensive snaps Week 4, he was heavily utilized in those opportunities and only projects to expand his reps as the season progresses. Conner played just nine offensive snaps versus New York and he figures to face similar utilization going forward, beginning Sunday on the road against Carolina in Week 5.
